Improvement over previous generation

Compared to a previous gen model, like the 8350; this projector has fast start times and even faster cool times. Image quality is comparable; except for this has 3D capabilities; which I don't find that good in any TV or projector so far. It has a better signal processor with better blacks and better detail. The optical lens shift in my opinion seems less capable (flimsy) than the previous model but still a high point on this unit. This adds better controls like discrete on and off buttons (extremely useful when using an universal remote with macros), it adds keystone correction; which is useful in some cases but should be avoided at all costs (That's what lens shift is for); and finally has R & B alignment (V & H); whereas in previous models was factory set (sometimes less than optimal). It's slightly quieter than previous models as well.
It's bright enough to be used in daylight; with good black levels.

Great service , very good pricing

Needed a temporary extra service for three weeks for relatives. Went with NET10 with an AT&T SIM; because I was also using AT&T on an iPhone 4S. Worked great between northern NH, Boston area and NYC. Good broadband speeds, no issues with voice calls nor with SMS. I was gladly surprised to be able to pick a SIM from all the four major carriers networks. The iPhone which was unlocked had no issues with the SIM; which also comes in every size.
As a nitpick, could not set up 'Visual Voicemail' but I really didn't care for VM.
Internet worked very well the whole time, did not seem slow for regular use (Mostly messaging and maps).
The price is reasonable even compared to a corporate discounted family plan from AT&T; and the service is comparable. Note that I did not try using LTE. The older iPhone 4S is 3G+.

The package has four SIM cards: two for each carrier AT&T, T, Sprint, VZ for every size: Standard and mini-micro. All pre-cut; No need to use scissors :)
Note: Also get a prepaid card otherwise this kit doesn't give you any extra minutes.

Fun for my 6 year old

Used the BD version and is well made as any recent Disney movie.
The movie is entertaining for young kids; with a good age appropriate plot; and most important; interesting references to some of the original Peter Pan characters.

Classic 80s

Might not remember the movie; but this album (soundtrack) is one of the few that transcends its time.
The CD itself seems very much unchanged from its original. CD booklet contains lyrics

Get more out of your home theater setup with this Sonos Beam compact smart soundbar. A 5-speaker with five amplifier setup delivers rich, big sound to your room, while the single-cable connection allows for fast, easy setup. Compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant voice control, this Sonos Beam compact smart soundbar lets you control the volume and power with the just sound of your voice.
Is pairing the Beam with 2 Play 5s and a Sub versus the Sub and 2 Sonos Ones an overkilI? I just purchased 2 Play 5s, 4 Sonos Ones, a Sub and the Beam and I am now having second thoughts on the original configuration/room location
It depends on your music tastes and budget :)
Keep in mind that these will act as surround speakers, so in this case you'll have surround speakers that are more powerful than the main speaker and that's not necessarily the best setup.
If I were contemplating such solution I'll stick with the Sonos Play for surround and use the Play:5 elsewhere as main speakers.

I have set up the beam and can turn off the tv with Alexa, but when I ask to have the tv turned on, it never turns on even though Alexa says it is done. What am I doing wrong? I have a TCL 49inc Roku tv. It is set up on both Sonos app and Alexa app.
It works for me, using a Hisense TV. "Alexa, Tun On TV", it turns on the TV connected to the Sonos Beam.
It could be an issue with the HDMI CEC configuration on your TV, or it could be that the phrase "Turn on TV" is configured on Alexa to do something else. Check on the Alexa app if there is a group, device or routine named either "TV" or "Turn on TV".
We have a Harmony hub remove already configured in another room and Alexa was turning that on instead when speaking to the Sonos. After renaming that activity via Harmony, then Alexa worked as intended on the soundbar.

Only @ Best BuyListen to music with this sweat- and dust-resistant wireless Jabra Elite headset. It connects via USB, mini-jack or Bluetooth, and a powerful microphone lets you use voice commands with your mobile device. This Jabra Elite headset reduces background noise and has a built-in motion sensor that lets you track fitness efforts.
Can an owner of the original non active 65t comment on the fit and stability difference with the active version? Curious if that and the extra IP rating is worth a look, or negligible.
I have both. (The second pair is for my wife). They are the same size, shape and weight. Besides slight color differences, the Active have a rubberized texture on the earbuds and on the charging case. The manufacturer's web site also indicates that it has a motion sensor, but I have not seen any difference when using the iOS app.
The silicon gel pieces look the same as the standard model. Battery life and other features are the same.
I've been using the standard model since it came out and the Actives for a few days, and didn't notice any difference in how they fit on my ears.
See the pictures of both models side by side. Active are on the right

Does both earbuds stay functional with audio when you talk? Can you hear stereo sound (not mono) when you talk?
Yes, on phone calls, audio comes from both earbuds. Also each earbud has two mics, and uses the mic array to isolate ambient noise

Will these head phones need to be connected tot he phone to use the noise cancelling function or can they operate as noise cancelling headphones whithout having to be connected to anything?
the noise cancelling does work without a connection

Does the quick attention mode turn on when you rest your head against the the side of the airplane or headrest ? If so, can this feature be turned off ?
No, it doesn't activate when laying on a pillow, etc.
It must detect induction from the body, so a pillow doesn't trigger it.
The feature cannot be turned off.

Let’s say the battery dies and I connect with a wire. Will noise cancelling work? I know Bose QC35 will provide a sound but no noise cancelling on that case. What about Sony?

Does the recently unveiled new version of MDR-1000x (WH-1000XM2) support multiple bluetooth connections as does Bose's QC 35 and all the other high-end wireless headphones? That was the only reason I haven't purchased the MDR-1000x.
It does remember multiple BT connections, and can connect to a music profile and audio(phone) profile simultaneously, but not to two music streams simultaneously.
